Back Pain

Research has shown that 80% of people will experience back pain at some point.

4 out of 5 people will suffer a back pain episode at least once in their lifetime. This will affect both their fitness, lifestyle, work and relationships.

After an initial episode of lower back pain 44-78% of people suffer relapses of pain, and 26-37% relapses of work absence.

Studies have shown that early interventions from physiotherapy reduced pain in patients with acute lower back pain, resulting in a dramatic reduction in recovery times and return to their chosen activities.
